What's Your Most Recent Addition To The Flock?

[Mookli]

Mookli, what's that one on the right (black cap, white barrel with the zig zags)? I don't think I've seen anything like it before, but then I mostly know the striated ones (the ones that just sort of say "Pelikan") to me. And is the green one just to the left of it an M100? It looks a lot like mine, which I got a for a pretty good deal on Ebay last summer.

Its a Montegrappa Remiscence, and the "odd man out" on that row. it is missing the cap. I temporally machined a cap from delrin. At some point I will need to make something better. I am thinking ebony and silver in the octagonal design of the original.

The green is a 100, with steel nib, a nice entry level Pelikan.

It has been a while since I've posted in this thread, but it's not for a lack of pen purchases, I've just been too busy. I can recall recently acquiring a solid blue M605, a blue Pelikano circa 1979, and an orange Twist.

 

What prompts me to post today are two harder to find birds that arrived in today's mail. Oddly, they arrived on the same day despite different ship dates and one coming from Italy and the other from England. The first is a pre-'97 M200 clear demo (F nib) (type II) and the second is a pre-'97 M250 clear demo (B nib). These are some great stepping stones on my way to completing my goals of collecting every variation of the M75-M250 series. Much harder to find than I expected. Only 20 pens or so left out of the 80 some made....

I recently purchased a Pelikan M805, blue stripe.... my first high end Pelikan. I also have an M250 w/14c M nib that I am spending more time with. The 805 is breathtaking and a joy to hold and write with. Just the right size for me.... very similar to my 146's.

Very soon you're going to have to open a museum in your house and I'm going to be one of the first to schedule a guided tour!

 

Amazing collection, congratulations.

[piscov]

Those demonstrators are really cool!!

[dornblaser]

Wow, that is quite a collection.

I am paying some attention to Pelikano, both the school and adult models,

 

This pen, package, and greetings from a very good dealer!

I took delivery of an old FP/BP set earlier today, in a case. The FP has a black body and a (925) silver cap and trims. The nib is one of the old 18k ones, in Medium. It's my first M-series Pelikan with a metal cap, and I'm very pleased with it (the case is a nice bonus, and the ballpoint is OK, too, I guess).

 

Not sure of the exact model, though I imagine it's an M450. Here are two pictures (apologies for the poor quality). Note that the cloudiness in the ink window is water vapour, as I have just flushed the pen: in 'real life' it's quite clear. I haven't written with it yet, as I want to clean it more thoroughly first, so no writing sample.

 

Set arrived in a case.

 

Cloudiness is water vapour from cleaning.

Thank you

PS: @all: Every photo missing on my site is welcome! My goal is to have photos of all Pelikan pens! Have a look at the site! Thank you!

A Pelikan M800 Blue Demonstrator from the 1990s (essentially a "Blue Ocean"# without the LE serial #).

Great find Oldane ! I've got the green one and those are lovely pens !

[Mookli]

I picked up a P-390, for 20 bucks, I jumped on it for the nib!

I think its the silver Europa model, cartridge filler. I am not very familiar with the "New Classic" line

The nib is a single color 14k BB

 

It not feeding perfectly, skips on the first fast up stroke. and doesn't like to write fast.

Everything looks OK, I might just use it for a while and let it tell me what it wants.

 

Pretty little pen if you like skinny, shiny things

Hi Mookli,

Hi,

The other day I was at home and accidentally overheard a conversation coming out of my pen box:

• Have you heard? last night another Pelikan came in… some sort of pencil, they told me. They are growing numbers man, the drawers below us are getting full of the striped ones.
• Ah, don’t worry, none of those old pijama pens will come up here.
• I don’t know man…
• Look, this is the modern tray, I’ve never seen a Pelikan here.
• That’s what is bugging me…
• Relax, we’re modern, we’re big, and we sit in the top drawer, we rule!
• …
• … who do you think rules more, your triangular cross section or my meisterstuck capband?
• What, you’re starting that again?!

I lost contact as this stage, I may have made some noise that alerted them, but one thing was getting veeery clear in my mind…

 

And so my latest came in, a M800 in classic green stripes, check it out!

 

 

As someone once said, “I know the voices in my head are not real, but they sure do have great ideas”!

Hi Mookli,

Your site is great!, I have been on it before, and have always wanted to complement you on it.

According to your information , I think I have a 380 nib in a 390 body.

Thanks

Mark

New addition: a gorgeous postwar IBIS in outstanding condition and with a factory B nib that makes my knees wobbly... Piston assembly properly reset, nib aligned to perfection, and filled with Waterman Blue-Black. Oh, Baby!
